Now this info I got is 2nd and 3rd hand gossip but figure I would share that money wise this family is not as broke as some would think , I hear many still do very well in some unions and in construction in general and they have no qualms about killing .

It will be interesting to see what happens when Persico dies


Don't get me wrong, there are sereous guys in the Colombo family, always have been, it's just that Persioco is bufoon and they so over extended by making every news stand shake down mook who came down the pike, and trying to claim territory they had no business chasing, they ended up with crews full of rats and an internal war.


Been there and done it
I am very much for real, so if you ask, make sure you really want to know.
